After the game against Chelsea, the FA was a rare humane to leave the players with no games scheduled on Christmas Day, allowing the players to recuperate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Manchester City FC did not arrange training on the 24th and 25th, giving the players a holiday, this season's Manchester City team's schedule is too intensive, almost 90% of the time is a double game, although Mu Shengli insisted on using a rotating lineup in such an unimportant game, but such a dense schedule still makes the players have a strong sense of fatigue from the psychological to the physical, plus the Premier League has no winter break, if you don't take this opportunity to take two days off, the players' state will get worse and worse.

Christmas is the most solemn holiday in the West, and Manchester City FC has a two-day holiday, which really makes the players happy.

Ding Hongxing also spent a Christmas with Lu Chaohui at home, they have been in Manchester for a few years, and Christmas can be regarded as a local custom, and it is also an important festival.

The two have lived in a house for two and a half years, although they have not yet broken through the last step, but the intimacy that couples should have is there, and the feelings between them are so strong that they can't be separated, and they are already the most tacit couples.

Usually they eat, if Lu Chaohui is early from school, she will go home to do it, if she is late from school, she will call a nearby Chinese restaurant to order takeout and come back to eat, and she will definitely not let Ding Hongxing do it, she said that Ding Hongxing is tired enough to train and compete every day, and he doesn't need to interfere in this kind of housework.

But this Christmas, Ding Hongxing plans to cook a meal by himself to spend this Christmas Eve.

Since it is Christmas, Ding Hongxing is going to cook a meal that combines Chinese and Western, Chinese food he is going to make Guicheng New Year's meatballs and other dishes, and Western food He is going to make a piece of pizza and fruit salad or something, and fry two steaks.

That afternoon, he pushed Lu Chaohui out of the kitchen, pressed her on the sofa in the living room, and let her watch TV, and then he closed the kitchen door and began to make today's dinner.

He is already familiar with the Chinese food method, of course, it still takes some time to make meatballs, and he doesn't plan to use a meat grinder, all of them are made by hand, which is even more time-consuming.

He did things in an orderly manner, first killed a mackerel raised in the tank of about three catties, this is the material used to make meatballs, in fact, the best material for Guicheng's meatballs is herring, this kind of fish meat is tight, and the meatballs are very delicious, but this kind of fish can not be found in the UK, so it can only be replaced by mackerel, and the meat of this fish is also relatively solid.

Ding Hongxing used two knives to chop the fish into puree, and chopped a piece of fine pork belly into a meat puree, looked at the time, he marinated the two pieces of fine beef with lemon juice and other things, and then used them to fry the steak later.

Ding Hongxing mixed another ball of noodles, kneaded it into a ball of dough, waited for it to rise, peeled some shrimp, and prepared some fillings such as ham and vegetables, which were ready to be used for pizza.

Then, Ding Hongxing began to make meatballs, he mixed the minced fish and meat puree, added egg white, starch, green onion and ginger juice and seasoning, and used his right hand for about half an hour to make the mixture evenly mixed and elastic, so that it was done, and now it can be put on the oil pot.

Ding Hongxing's kitchen area is very large, a full set of Chinese tableware, kitchenware, and a full set of Western tableware, kitchenware are readily available, and it is very convenient to cook, Ding Hongxing boiled a pot of oil, and while waiting for the oil to boil, he spread the pizza filling on the fermented dough, and then spread a layer of cream on it, and then put it in the oven to bake it after a while.

After another half an hour or so, the meatballs were fried, Ding Hongxing put the pizza in the oven and started baking, fried another fish, fried two steaks, mixed a plate of fruit salad, and just as the pizza was baked, a perfect Christmas Eve dinner with a combination of Chinese and Western styles was completed.

All the dishes were placed on the table covered with beautiful tablecloths, Ding Hongxing opened another bottle of red wine, lit a candle, he poured himself and Lu Chaohui a glass of red wine, picked up the wine glass and said, "Huihui, Merry Christmas!" ”

Lu Chaohui was already so moved that she couldn't do it, such a superstar who had just won the European Golden Globe Award, but she was willing to spend an afternoon cooking such a dinner for her, she could feel Ding Hongxing's strong love, she clinked glasses with Ding Hongxing and said: "Red Star, thank you!" ”

Ding Hongxing took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said with a smile: "Thank you for what?" Didn't you cook much more for me than I did? How about a taste of my cooking? ”

Lu Chaohui first ate a ball, chewed a few bites, and then nodded: "It's delicious." ”

Then she tried the steak, the fried fish, the pizza, the fruit salad, and she was very satisfied with the taste of each dish, and she felt that there was a strong taste of love in these dishes.

The two of them ate delicious food sweetly and drank mellow red wine, although it was winter, but the fireplace was lit in the room, the fire was blazing, warm, and there was no cold and damp feeling at all.

Ding Hongxing said to Lu Chaohui: "Huihui, you will graduate next year, what do you want to do after graduation?" ”

Lu Chaohui thought about it, she shook her head and said, "I really haven't thought about it, what do you think I should do?" ”

Ding Hongxing also groaned, Lu Chaohui definitely can't go back to China to work, she wants to follow Ding Hongxing, but Ding Hongxing will definitely not let her find a company to work in Manchester, but she can't be left at home and have nothing to do, such a young girl still has her own career.

After pondering for a long time, Ding Hongxing said: "Huihui, let's do this, let's set up a charity fund and manage it by you, what do you think?" ”

"Charitable funds?" Lu Chaohui hesitated, she had never considered this matter.

Ding Hongxing nodded and said: "Yes, when I was in China, I ran a charity fund with Yang Tianxiong and them, which helped many children who couldn't afford to go to school, and now we can start a larger-scale charity fund to raise more funds to help more people." ”

Lu Chaohui said: "But aren't there many charitable funds in China? There are a lot of official ones, and we can raise funds and donate them to them. ”

Ding Hongxing shook his head and said, "I don't trust the ethics of some official charity funds, if you take care of this fund, I will rest assured." ”

Lu Chaohui hesitated again: "But I have never touched this kind of thing, and I am afraid that I will not be able to manage it well with so much money." ”
